Bad Remote

Nice player with crisp picture and nice features. However, remote is extremely clumsy and absolutely EATS batteries. I purchased it for a vacation home and set it up on a Sunday evening then went home. I returned the next weekend and the batteries were toast.

Pros:

Cons:Remote is terrible.

Magic Motion Remote on LG Blu-Ray BP730

Non-Techy from San Francisco, CA on 7/23/2013

I really like the Blu-Ray itself, but the Magic Motion remote is horrible. I returned the first Blu-ray because I thought it was malfunctioning. Turns out, the batteries on the remote were dead--although I had just changed them the day before! It's enough to pull your hair out! Why sell a sophisticated machine with such a crappy remote?! I'm sending this back.

Pros:Nice picture quality

Cons:Bad remote

Issues

It was not easy to get it up and running. Difficult to connect to Netflix; took several attempts and a work-around. Was OK after the hours it took to set up until the remote failed. The problem there appears to be a short circuit. The batteries last 24 hours. LG has promised a replacement but their customer service has thus far been unable to confirm shipment. In the meantime the work-around has been to remove and replace the batteries each time I use it. I have to add I have had nothing but trouble with LG's BD670, and am not likely to buy from LG again.

Disc & USB Compatibility

Disc Compatibility: The LG BP730 Blu-ray disc player is
compatible with many disc types:

Blu-ray Disc Overview: Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a
high-definition disc format designed to take advantage of today's high quality
HDTVs. The resolution is up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) and the data transfer rate is
up to 54 mbps. Blu-ray Disc discs and players offer several advantages over the
standard DVD format:

Better Picture Quality: Blu-ray Disc is a true
high-definition format offering video at 720p, 1080i, or 1080p resolution.
While standard DVDs look very good on an HDTV, they don't provide a
high-definition signal (not even when you use an up-converting DVD player).
Blu-ray Disc delivers an extraordinarily sharp, clean, detailed picture,
with deeper, richer colors.

Greater Storage Capacity: What makes Blu-ray Disc's
superior picture and sound possible is the much higher storage capacity of
Blu-ray Disc discs. A single-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 25 gigabytes of
data, over five times the amount a standard DVD can hold. Dual-layer Blu-ray
Discs hold 50 gigabytes, which equates to nine hours of High Definition or
23 hours of Standard Definition video, plus high-resolution multi-channel
audio and the added features and material that require multiple discs with
standard DVD.

Backward Compatible: To ensure backward-compatibility
with your existing library of discs, Blu-ray Disc players use a dual-laser
mechanism: a blue laser for playing high-definition Blu-ray Discs, and a
conventional red laser for playing DVDs and audio CDs.

Note: Like DVD, BD uses region codes. The region code on
your disc must match the region code on your player, otherwise the disc will
not play. The player is Blu-ray region A and DVD region 1. Blu-ray Disc
uses the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) to prevent unauthorized
recording of copyrighted material.

Firmware Updates: As Blu-Ray technology continues to evolve,
new disc types with enhanced functionality will become available. In order for
you to enjoy this new functionality, you will likely be required to update the
firmware in your player. These firmware updates will become available for
downloading from the Internet. Occasionally, LG may release updated firmware for
this unit that may add or improve the way a feature operates. These updates are
available free of charge. This unit is capable of checking the firmware
automatically when connected to the Internet via broadband connection.

Note: The tested Blu-ray player contained
software/firmware version BD1.946.30207.C with an immediate for
software/firmware version BD2.196.30402.C (as of 5/21/2013). Visit LG'sSupport Site for the latest firmware/software updates.

AVCHD: AVCHD (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) is a high definition digital
video camera format used to record in high definition or standard definition on
DVD, using an efficient data compression coding technology. The format is
designed to compress video and audio (Dolby Digital or Linear PCM) data,
enabling a high definition video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder
to be recorded on DVD discs, in the same way as it would be for a standard
definition signal.

Front-Panel USB Port (w/ CD-to-USB Ripping): The Blu-ray player features a front-panel USB (type-A)
port for playback of video, still image, and music files stored on a connected
USB memory device. The player can support USB external hard disc drives (up
to 2TB) and USB mass storage class devices (up to 32GB). The USB storage device
must be formatted as FAT 32 or NTFS file system. You can also record one desired
track or all of the tracks from a CD-Audio disc to an inserted USB storage
device. CD audio tracks are converted to MP3 format (128/192/320kbps) and saved
to your connected USB device.

Video Features

HDMI (v.1.4): The BP730's HDMI output simplifies A/V
connections by carrying video and digital audio in one cable. The HDMI
resolution can be fixed at 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, and 4K; or set to
Auto, which selects the highest resolution accepted by your television.

4K Video Up-conversion: When connected to your TV using the
HDMI output, the BD-P730 scales the output of a standard DVD signal to
HD-compatible 720p, 1080i, 1080p, or 4K (3,840 x 2,160). 4K provides four times
higher resolution than current 1080p high-definition content. The unit also
supports 480p and 480i output if your television is not HD-compatible.

Note: To enjoy 4K, you must have a compatible 4K
television.

1080/24p: Movies are typically filmed at 24 frames per
second and some Blu-ray Discs use the same frame rate. If your TV will accept a
1080/24p signal, the BP730 can pass the signal in its native form, without
converting the video.

3D Ready w/ 2D-to-3D Conversion: The LG BP730 Blu-ray disc player supports 3D playback of
high-definition 3D Blu-ray discs when connected to a 3D-Ready HDTV via HDMI,
along with wearing a pair 3D vision glasses. You can also convert 2D content to
3D and adjust the 3D depth and distance to suit your preference.

Deep/x.v.Color: Deep Color allows more accurate color
reproduction with deep color depth. The BP730 must be connected to a Deep Color
compatible TV via HDMI for this feature to function. The BP730 also supports
x.v.Color; meaning it's ready for x.v.Color discs, such as AVCHD discs (MPEG-4
AVC/H.264 format).

TV Aspect Ratio: You can select which aspect ratio the player outputs
according to your television's aspect ratio.

16:9 Original: Select when a 16:9 wide TV is
connected; the 4:3 picture is displayed with an original 4:3 aspect ratio,
with black bars appearing at the left and right sides.

16:9 Full: >Select when a 16:9 wide TV is
connected; the 4:3 picture is adjusted horizontally (in a linear proportion)
to fill the entire screen.

Picture Modes: You can select one of four preset Picture
Modes (Standard/Vivid/Movie/User). The User mode allows you to manually adjust
the Contrast, Brightness, Color, and Sharpness of the Blu-ray player.

BonusView: The BonusView feature provides picture-in-picture
capability with select Blu-ray Disc titles. You can view addition content (such
as director/actor commentary) in a small display window while the movie is
playing.

Audio Features

Dolby Digital/DTS Surround Decoding: The LG BP730 can decode
the following Dolby Digital/DTS surround formats; Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby
Digital Plus, Dolby True HD, DTS HD High Resolution, and DTS-HD Master Audio.
The player must be connected to a Dolby Digital/DTS surround AV receiver which
also supports these same formats via HDMI or digital optical input. You can set the
unit's digital output to match the capabilities of your
connected AV receiver.

Dynamic Range Control: This function allows you to listen to a movie
(Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or Dolby TrueHD content) at a lower volume
without losing clarity of sound. The player's DRC function can be set to Auto,
On, or Off.

Down Sampling: 192 kHz and 96 kHz digital signals can be
converted to 48 kHz for components not compatible with higher sampling rates.

Digital Optical Output: In addition to the player's HDMI output, the
Blu-ray disc player features a optical (toslink) digital audio output. The player's
audio menu allows you to select the digital audio format that is passed through
the optical digital output; bitstream (Dolby Digital or DTS) or 2-channel PCM.

We have Cox Cable and the magic remote that came with the TV is more difficult to manage than the Cox remote, which still works for most things we want the TV to do.[ Bob Jan 04, 2014 ]

HI Rose,
Not in my experience. The arrow only works in selcting which functions you want and then the remote works through the blueray device. You will, I believe, have to use the remote that came with your TV. Samsung makes integrated remotes and I suspect LG will do the same shortly.Good luck; happy New Year.[ DR PAUL Jan 02, 2014 ]

I have a LG 3D TV it is not a smart tv and the magic remote will not control the tv.[ CHRISTOPHER Jan 01, 2014 ]
